AHRS based body orientation estimation for real time fall detection
L Haritha Nair, Ragimol · 2017
In this paper, we present a waist mounted device for detecting the fall of elderly. Elderly people do not balance the equilibrium of their body like others, hence falling and its consequences are main health problems. In order to detect their fall, we can propose a new system which is based on AHRS system. It includes accelerometer, gyroscope and magnetometer which are used for detecting their body fall. ARM processor is used for processing the signal from the sensors. This system is highly efficient for monitoring their fall. This system is also helpful for detecting the location of where they fall and give alert to hospitals as well as to our mobile phones.
